BELL – SAMSUNG GALAXY S6 FEATURE MURAL – 2015
Located in Calgary, Alberta.
This mural design used a pounce pattern. The image is trace on pounce paper, next a pounce wheel traces the lines of the image; the wheel produces tiny holes where the lines on the paper were. Once that is complete, the pounce paper covers the surface to be pained. Using a pounce pad, which is a special pad saturated chalk dust, we tamp the wall along the lines. This process leaves a chalk line on the wall as the dust penetrates the pounce paper via the holes. In the end, you have your drawing on the wall in small dots of chalk.
With the pouncing complete, next we tackled the underpainting, which consisted of a coat of paint to get the color shape and tone. For this project, we used the trusty brush and bucket method to paint in the major shapes. After the underpainting, we move on to a secondary underpainting, still using the brush and carried out some blending.
Once the underpainting is finished, the HVLP (high volume low-pressure) spray guns are used to add photo realistic detail. Whenever using a paint sprayer we need to be careful, it is easy to get paint on areas you would rather not, and overspray is how you refer to this issue. To avoid overspray, we mask off areas to conceal the finished work from the overspray.
In order to mask off areas that we do not want painted we have a few options. One is freehand it, if you have a steady enough hand and don’t pull down too hard on your trigger you may be able to pull this off. The second is use a masking tool, this could put to use a straight edge tool or for the areas with curves, we have French curves made up out of corrugated plastic. With some proper masking and taping techniques, the mural comes to life.
The most common gun used on murals is a gravity feed HVLP spray gun. The fan size on your typical gun is 1.2 to 9.2 inches. We used a scissor lift for access to the wall, when we are pouncing and painting there can be as much as 3-5 people on the lift at one time. The front end can be pulled out and then give the user more room to work. There is a max person rating for this extra platform.
